Idea Stage
Now that you have an underutilized or empty spare room or garage, how do you go about creating the perfect man cave without breaking the bank?
It is best to have an idea of what you want the finished product to look like. Ideally, it would help if you worked with a home interior or construction professional during the idea stage.
Settle on an outline, theme, design, furniture pieces, and more during the idea stage. After
the idea stage, you move on to the budgeting stage.
Create a Budget
Now that you have gone through the planning and idea process, it is time to be realistic. You should figure out how much you are willing to spend on your man cave project, and how much your ideal man cave will cost.
This will help you come up with a balanced budget for your project. Are you improving an existing man cave or building a new one from scratch?
Improving an existing man cave is almost always cheaper than building one from scratch.
Fresh Coat of Paint
You might be surprised by the incredible effects a fresh coat of paint can have on a room. Improve your spare room or garage by refreshing your walls and ceiling with a new, vibrant coat of paint.
For those of us with low spare room or garage ceilings, painting our ceilings a dark colour can create the illusion that your ceiling is farther from the ground than it is in reality. This is just one way that paint can improve your space.
Comfortable Flooring
When improving or renovating a spare room or garage , you cannot overlook the usefulness of comfortable flooring. Spare rooms or garages are not famous for having comfortable default flooring.
If installing new floors is not on the agenda and you currently have concrete flooring, you may decide to apply waterproof epoxy paint to your floor for a beautiful and refreshed look.
Why don’t you invest in affordable rugs to keep your feet warm and make your man cave look better?
Furniture
Let us assume that you currently have a man cave and you feel it is time to make improvements. You may decide to invest in new furniture pieces or repair existing ones.
It is not unusual to find furniture that nobody else wants. The fact that you are stuck with old furniture does not mean it has to be dilapidated.
If you are renovating or building a new man cave, new furniture pieces are worth considering if you can afford them.
New and Improved Lighting Fixtures
Unfortunately, many spare rooms and garages are improperly lit. This is a severe hindrance
towards getting the most out of your spare room or garage space.
If we told you that proper lighting practices such as clip-on shades on bare bulbs, and layered string lights could make your space better, would you believe us?
It is painful that lighting in spare room or garage spaces usually feels like an after-thought. Today, we reverse this trend.
Fill Up Your Walls
If you aim to make your man cave look as cozy as possible, you need to fill up the walls with the right items.
Interested in art? Even if you are not, you might want to consider looking for inexpensive,
beautiful artworks for sale on the internet.
Additionally, put up pictures of the people that matter the most to you, all you need are pictures of family members and artworks, and you are good to go.
